The Spartan Gyro

[Jetleaf]

After trying for months to get one I found one last week at a place that didn't sellout in 30 seconds. Ordered it and the flashlink. This is what was in my mailbox today just as you see it. :shock:I brought it right in to the house and grabbed the camera. I have not altered the packing one bit. Oddly enough the flashlink is in there and to my surprise nothing appears to be damaged. We will know more when I try to use it. God only knows what this gyro has been through.

Oh come on.. That doesnt look like a USPS problem. That looks like a shipper problem!

What the freak! I'd be pissed!

Where dif you order it from?

The Spartan "box" has pretty good padding in it luckily. Good luck man!!

i've had several packages thrown on my porch. i used to haul mail out of a major post office. i know how it gets treated. just that i never had a problem with big brown. always 100% good experiences.

I'd rather not say where it came from. Nothing is missing. The Spartan box doesn't have a scratch on it. It just looks to me like whoever taped the bubble wrap on could have taken 30 more seconds and covered it up completely or put in another package. It looks like somebody just threw tape, bubble wrap, and spartan up in the air and that's how it all came together. Amazing

My Girlfriend works for Fed-X you should hear the horor stories.

I'm surprised that the usps would accept a hopefully insured item packaged like that. There's a dead fish in the ice box somewhere. Actually I've had better luck with usps that big brown. I recently had a pelican case lost by ups and it took a month to get their error straightened out.
Glad you got your gyro. You're gonna love it. I went with the Logitech on my gaui but I have a Spartan on my bling 450 and it is boss.Easy to set up (unless you have a Spektrum and that's not that hard), solid as Gibraltar. Good luck.
